Yes it is, you must tell the function to treat the relevant variables as
globals though, here is a way of doing it:
function Foo(){
$theArray = array('var1'=>'testing', 'var2'=>'testing2');
foreach($theArray as $varname=>$value){
global $$varname;
}
extract($theArray);
}
Foo();
echo "$var1<BR />$var2";
The above code outputs "testing<BR />testing2".
All the best,
David.
